Keynotes

Can Enterprises Take Control of IoT’

The challenges and complexities of deploying IoT at enterprise scale are huge, but so are the payoffs. Enterprises must take a streamlined approach to deploy, manage and secure IoT in order to support the many IoT use cases and the different types of IoT infrastructure and things that will soon reside under their control - with thousands or hundreds of thousands of sensors, smart devices and equipment using different configurations and protocols. This keynote will highlight the challenges of IoT at enterprise scale and recommend best practices to streamline and simplify managing, operating and securing across all IoT use cases.

IoT Architecture Symposium

Panel: A few years into it all: strengths and weaknesses of Cloud, Enterprise IoT Architecture, and Integration

IoT is delivering significant business value by improving efficiencies and increasing revenue through automation and analytics, but widespread fragmentation and the lack of a common IoT solution framework are hindering broad adoption and stalling market growth.

Hosted by The Linux Foundation, EdgeX Foundry is a new open source project that is accelerating enterprise IoT deployments by unifying the marketplace around a common IoT edge framework and an ecosystem of interoperable components.

David Hart, CTO of NetFoundry and an EdgeX Foundry Ambassador, will provide an overview of EdgeX Foundry and discuss how the EdgeX framework makes it easy for enterprises to quickly create IoT edge solutions that have the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs.

Case Study: Making higher quality wines from more sustainable vineyards with IoT Technologies

Delicato Family Vineyards is one of the fastest growing wine companies in the world. Family-owned and operated in California since the company’s founding in 1924, Delicato Family Vineyards is fostering innovation, quality and environmental stewardship. Through its viticulture program, the company is working towards decreasing its water footprint while irrigating its vineyards to increase the wine quality.

By integrating their soil and atmospheric environments, grapevines reflect the prevailing conditions in growth, physiology and berry composition. In absence of rainfall during the growing season, irrigation becomes the single most important parameter to be managed and can be better piloted using remote sensing. The resulting datasets allow us to bring the right amount of water at the right time.

In this session, we will present how the vineyard data integrates from connected devices, airborne imagery and electronic surveys. We will look at the IoT enabled decision making in the vineyard and its impact on achieving great sustainable wines.

This keynote discussion will explore the positive impacts of Washington DC's city-wide governance body Smarter DC Tiger Team that is driving powerful relationships/partnerships across the city which includes government agencies, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), local Universities, civic community, and industry partners.

Autonomous Vehicles as Public Transportation

Autonomous Vehicles have the potential to solve many urban problems. They will take private cars off the road, reduce demand for parking, increase safety and mobility for everyone, including the disabled, and solve the ‘first/last mile’ challenge for commuters using mass transit.

Recent analyst research has found that up to 70% of IoT projects are stalled at the proof of concept stage. In this session, we’ll share case studies and examples of key hurdles to IoT deployment, including struggles with applications/analytics integrations, mobile app development, and security at all levels of the IoT exchange. We will also share insights into industrial-strength projects that went through multiple iterations and highly varied field trials before moving to successfully produce and securely deploy at scale (e.g. over 100,000 edge devices). We’ll discuss ways companies are cutting costs and time along the way as well.

IoT Security

Panel: Working together Towards a Trustworthy Internet of Things

- Taking a Proactive vs Reactive Approach to IoT Security

- How IT & OT can work together?

- A discussion around legal frameworks and regulation

- Healthcare Use Case: An example of how a sensitive industry can still innovate and embrace IoT

As the anticipated billions of “things” are connected to the Internet of Things, security becomes a major industry concern that could significantly slowdown the deployment of IoT systems. It is becoming increasingly important to understand that IoT security is a multi-layered problem with the added complexity of securely connecting devices to the cloud and manage them through the product lifecycle. In this presentation, we will explore the security risks that come with the IoT revolution, including compromised IoT devices that execute DDoS attacks against Internet services and malicious actors manipulating the flow of information to and from network-connected devices. We will also explore the complexity of the IoT ecosystem and the challenges OEMs and service providers face trying to build security into their products. The presentation will conclude with a new security solution to enable easy and secure device-to-cloud connectivity and lifecycle management.

Cybersecurity Hygiene for Connected Medical Devices

The emergence of connected medical devices in healthcare presents many benefits for the industry such as better patient monitoring, improved outcomes and enhanced overall population health. However, stakeholders must address the risks of connected medical devices—and mitigate them—to ensure patient safety and maintain their trust.

In this talk, Nelson discusses the elements of good cybersecurity hygiene for connected medical devices including device authentication, data encryption, and data and system integrity.

Nelson gives an overview of the state of connected medical device cyber security, recent FDA guidance, and how PKI is being used by major medical device manufacturers to address patient safety and safeguard networks accessed by these devices.

How do you future-proof your IoT solution to support any cryptocurrency?

How Blockhain could impact industry, governments and society in the future, and design innovative governance models and what needs to be done to ensure that their benefits are maximized and the associated risks kept under control

In a the Real World environment, many issues can arise that may affect how a device operates. These range from background noise and the WiFi interference they can impose or be exposed to through when power outages occur and how the devices recovers and resumes interoperation with other devices. This is where the idea of implicit vs. explicit testing becomes a critical notion when developing devices. The idea is that users expectations are set differently based on the environments and conditions unique to the home. In this session UL will discuss how the manufacturers devices will react and interact with other devices much like a real consumer would have in their homes and why real world testing is the golden last mile to a successful product launch.

Mickey Ferri, Ph.D. in Economics, Chief Growth Officer of Enflux, will give a talk on how Enflux is revolutionizing motion capture.
